WPS is a Wisconsin Medicare and not-for-profit Health Insurance provider located in Monona, Wisconsin. It was founded in 1946 to administer a non-profit insurance plan intended to help people having difficulty paying for health Care. The company relocated from Milwaukee to the Madison area in 1950 and opened several sales offices across the state.

Wisconsin Medicare Supplements

Wisconsin Medicare Supplement Plans must offer the same benefits for each plan. Example: A plan from company A with the base and all the riders must offer the same exact benefits as a plan with company B base and all the riders. This makes all Medicare Supplement Companies equal other than pricing.

Where they can adjust benefits, is by offering coverage above and beyond what Medicare covers, for things such as preventative services. This is where a WPS Medicare Supplement Plan outshines them all. WPS covers all services that Medicare does not cover and this can be a huge relief for Wisconsin Medicare beneficiaries.

The company's MedicareRx stand-alone prescription drug plans are the only Part D plans in Wisconsin to have a 5-star rating in the 2015 plan year. The 5-star rating means Wisconsin Medicare beneficiaries can switch to the WPS MedicareRx plans anytime during the year, not only during the normal Medicare annual enrollment period.

In Wisconsin, the ten traditional lettered Medicare Supplement plan models are not offered. Residents of Wisconsin who are eligible for Medicare have guaranteed issue privileges to buy a Medicare Supplement policy.

WPS Medicare Supplemental Choices

Wisconsin Medicare Supplement Plans use a base plus optional riders to equal the benefits of the lettered Medicare Supplement plans. This does not diminish the benefits in anyway it is just a difference in how they are standardized.

The benefits can vary from paying nothing out of pocket, which would equal a plan F to you paying all of the deductibles and only having the base which would cover just the 20% that Medicare does not cover.

We recommend the riders that would equal the benefits of a Plan G (in most of the country). This plan gives you the most amount of benefits for the least amount of premium.

Your only out-of-pocket costs for Medical should be the Part B deductible which has been at $183.00 per year for the last couple of years. A Medicare Supplement Plan G in Wisconsin would be the base and the following riders:

Additional Home Health Care coverage for up to 325 days beyond Medicare benefits

For Travel Health Emergency (up to $100,000)

Please see the Outline of Coverage for a description of the benefits provided by this rider.

WPS Insurance

While the WPS health insurance for people on Medicare may cost a little more, it could save you money in the long run. Medicare does not cover everything and if Medicare does not approve your procedure that would then be denied by most Medicare Supplement Plans.

That means the full cost would come out of your pocket. That is not the case with the WPS Medicare Plans with the full base and the riders you will get unlimited preventive benefits..

WPS is one of the twenty Medicare Supplement companies that we are contracted with here at Medicare Solutions Team. We are proud to work with the WPS family and admire their strong ethics. It isn't often you find a company that actually treats it customers as family.
